Adrian mole: the prostrate years editado por Penguin
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
Sue Townsend was simply one of the funniest writes who ever wore socks, and her Adrian Mole series is a satirical gem that follows her hapless protagonist from adolescence to middle age, revealing some sharp home truths about British society in the process. At thirty-nine and a half, Adrian is convinced he's too young to have prostrate problems. He's wrong. If anyone can shake a comic first at cancer, it's Townsend. (Independent)
Couldn't be funnier (Gillian Reynolds, Sunday Times)
An exquisite social comedy (Daily Telegraph)
In this book the comedy is all the sharper, and more poignant, for its melancholy contrasts, the emotional danger and the sense that time is always running out. (The Guardian)
Sue Townsend has always had an unflinching sense of humour - the more incongruously awful the situation, the more she can make us laugh...this is a seriously lovely book. (Sunday Times)
Like Evelyn Waugh's Captain Grimes, Adrian is 'one of the immortals' and the series of his diaries the comic masterpiece of our time (The Scotsman)
This hilarious and poignant tale of Adrian Mole's early middle age reaffirms that Sue Townsend has created 'one of the great comic characters of our time' (The Scotsman)
The funniest person in the world (Caitlin Moran)
'Effortlessly hilarious. Brilliant satire and tragedy' Times
AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4
In the EIGHTH & FINAL BOOK in comic legend Sue Townsend's hilarious and iconic series, Adrian continues to struggle with his love life, endures a painfully awkward school play and contemplates the unsettling prospect of applying genital poultice . . .

Sunday 1st July
NO SMOKING DAY. A momentous day! Smoking in a public place or place of work is forbidden in England. Though if you a lunatic, a prisoner, an MP or a member of the Royal Family you are exempt.
Adrian Mole is thirty-nine and a quarter. He lives in the country in a semi-detached converted pigsty with his wife Daisy and their daughter. His parents George and Pauline live in the adjoining pigsty. But all is not well.
The secondhand bookshop in which Adrian works is threatened with closure. The spark has fizzled out of his marriage. His mother is threatening to write her autobiography (A Girl Called Shit). And Adrian's nightly trips to the lavatory have become alarmingly frequent . . .
